A guy wants me to build him a proper 7 wt on a 10' 0" 4-piece Temple Forks blank. Any of you folks know how I could come by this blank? Not something I usually build on.

He showed my his factory TFO built on the same 10' 0" blank and I cast it for him with an 8wt Rio Grand. I gotta say I absolutely loved casting this thing. Completely impressed with the design on this blank.

Of course the TFO grip and hardware is pretty poor so I'm gonna build him the same 7wt with the right accoutrements.

That is if I can find the blank. Can anyone help?

Just email 'em :) They've been pretty good in terms of getting back to me in a day or two when I had questions. Also there website has a list of vendors that sell their blanks.

Hello. The Burlson Sporting Co. carries all the TFO blanks. I Have bought several TFO blanks from them and they have been great to deal with. I was very weary about assembling a rod on a korean made blank, but I must say the TFO TiCr blanks I have used are very nice and cast very well. As you stated their components and finish work are junk. Burlson's web address is www.burfish.com.

Hey folks thanks for the info but I still cannot find this blank.
I'm talking about a 10' 7wt 4pc. Probably the TiCr series but I'll consider talking him into a Pro series 10' 7wt 4pc if neccessary. I might try to go through TFO direct if need be but I try to deal with RB.org vendors exclusively.
Any vendors have one of these blanks available??

TFO does not make the TiCR factory rod in a 10ft model,so I doubt they would offer it in a blank.More than likely it was the Professional Series.

EMail Rick Pope at TFO and ask him directly.He is a great guy to deal with and should be able to steer you to a dealer,or possibly let you buy direct from him if they offer this model in a blank.
